I have also had trouble trying to install Mercs on DosBox(0.73). I mounted my disk drive (d:\) properly, ran the install.exe program, and recieved the following message: Error Code 9005 The installer was unable to find a suitable temporary directory. You may specify one on the command line by invoking: D:\DOS\INSTALL.EXE SwapDir=d:\path If your computer is part of a network, please ensure that you have adequate rights to create a subdirectory and a file on the path you specify. How do I correct this error or install Mercs another way? BTW: I also tried backing the disc up to the hard drive and running DosBox on it. It seemed to install properly, though it gives me an error stating that I need to reinstall it using the disc.

Simplest way to install mercs dos is through vmware.
It works on Windows XP and above.

btw thx for the command line info i had not seen that switch before! :)

You have to make a virtual copy of your disc!!!! Dosbox has a known bug which generates a no-cd warning with the actual game . Its dosbox issue that is corrected by simply ripping a bin/cue file from original cd.
